Youth Ministry empowers young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ through participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community. Youth ministry attempts to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of young people. Youth ministry gives young people the opportunity to gather with teens in the parish to celebrate and grow in their faith. Additionally, through vicariate and diocesan events, young people have a small experience of the larger Church.
Opportunities are available for both Middle School and High School Teens. Through social, spiritual and service experiences, young people grow personally and develop a greater understanding of their baptismal call to live as disciples and reach out to others. Each age group gathers with their peers for learning sessions to explore the faith and the Catholic Christian response to today’s issues and challenges.
Youth Ministry welcomes all young people unconditionally and provides an environment where teens can feel safe to be themselves.
Looking ahead – Mark your calendars for the following dates:

March 18 – Journey into the Desert – During this season of Lent it’s appropriate to take time to focus on our relationship with God. This experience will take you through 6 desert spaces, leading you to a place of presence and some time to reflect. Each desert space will help you examine areas of your life and help you discover areas for renewal and growth. You will walk away from this experience with a take home journal for further reflection for the remainder of Lent.

Sacred Heart Major Seminary Presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Friday, March 23 at 7:30pm and Saturday, March 24 at 2:00pm & 7:30pm. Seating is general admission. Doors open 30 minutes prior to performance. Proceeds will benefit Sacred Heart Major Seminary. Free Will offering.
Service Hours – You probably know that during the weeks when we have Generations of Faith we move around a lot of furniture – stacking chairs, setting up folding tables & chairs, putting projectors & screens in place, removing hymnals, and generally changing things around. The set up takes place on the Sundays before a Generations of Faith series around 12:30 PM, and it takes lots of helping hands to make it happen. Then, on the last night of each Generations of Faith series (Wednesdays) we have to put everything back to normal. We are usually able to start this by 8:15 or so. Both set up and tear down, with enough people, take 30-45 minutes.
hours available Sunday Feb. 26th at 12:30 PM and Wednesday, Feb. 29th at 8:15 PM
